Two line items in drop down list.

[Ripperdan]

Is there a way to have the items in a drop down list be 2 lines per item? I
want to put a drop down list in a table cell so that the item appears on two
lines in the cell when I move to the next cell. In other words, I don't care
how it appears in the list but want it to end up being two lines in the cell
when finished.

Example:
One of the items in the list:
"Mary had a lamb"
In the Cell after selection:
"Mary had"
"a lamb"
(without the quotes)

The only possiblity would be to use a macro. There's an example on my website
(Forms section) for using ampersands (&) in the dropdown result. You can adapt
this to write the full text into an immediately adjacent text box...
